Tanzim Hasan Sakib made headlines due to Kohli

Bangladesh fast bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib made headlines with a fiery send-off to Indian cricket star Virat Kohli during their T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 clash on Saturday. After dismissing Kohli, Tanzim celebrated aggressively, sparking discussions on social media. Former West Indies fast bowler Kesrick Williams, known for his 'notebook' send-off to Kohli in 2017, reacted to the incident with a meme suggesting Tanzim prepare for a similar response.

Williams humorously posted on Instagram, "Kez 2-1 Kohli," in response to the meme referencing his past encounter with Kohli.

During his playing days, Williams famously celebrated wickets by writing imaginary names in a notebook, a gesture that irked Kohli during a series in the West Indies. In retaliation, Kohli dominated Williams in a subsequent match in India, scoring 32 runs off 12 balls and mimicking Williams' celebration.

Australia's David Warner defended Kohli amidst criticism over his strike rate, praising Kohli's passion, determination, and commitment to scoring runs. Warner highlighted Kohli's resilience and competitive spirit, emphasising the respect Kohli commands among his peers and opponents alike.
